I took an e-bike wine tour in Saint-Émilion in September 2023, and it was incredible. Riding through the vineyards on an e-bike was the perfect mix of fun and relaxed. The views? Stunning. Our guide, an English native, was super friendly and knew everything about wine and the area. Honestly, it was one of the best days out I've had. Great wine, great company, and riding an e-bike through those beautiful vineyards was just unforgettable. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique way to explore Saint-Émilion!

World class tour
2024-01-14
Myself and 5 friends booked this tour during our 3 day trip to Bordeaux. Our expectations were by far exceeded. Cazs knowledge, passion and good humour made the day very personable for us. The chateaux we went to were amazing because we got to meet the owners and learn the day the to day life so running a castle in one of the most famous wine regions of the world. The lunch provided was world class, but what really was the icing on the cake, at the end of the tour, we had a seat with a beautiful view over the vines and had a glass of wine to Finish. Our driver was a little late to collect us but Caz stayed on continually serving wine and telling us some great stories. Simply unforgettable and there just aren't the same quality of tours out there like this. From myself and all the group, thank you for such a wonderful day.

Knowledgeable tour guide who truly made the experience special by incorporating family run vineyards. He was excellent at including everyone in the group. He tended to everyone’s individual needs and has a great working relationship with the chateaux we visited. I would highly recommend this tour. The e-bikes help you cover a lot of distance without diminishing the quality of the St. Emilion experience.
